Ah! Now I understand!

No 'official' way, perhaps - but common sense tells you that even if they 
split clean in two they will still be there and the car won't fall off them. 
But I can tell you after 29 years that mine are stout enough so that they 
ain't going to split in two, either! I'll take them over the jack stands any 
day!
